    • RE: Phoenix Brew

      @craw_advantage I do have what seems like two seperate game plans but there were many times where I would have two to 3 phoenix in my hand and a Buried Alive, making the Buried Alive useless. I then added the Bazaar to be able to discard them. The Prized Amalgam's were added as a natural card for synergy with Phoenix coming out of the GY. Sometimes in testing I did not have any of the above but was able to get three hollow one's in play off of the back of one activation of a Bazaar.

      The Rootawala's are probably the weakest card and the easiest cut. I am by no means saying this is a fine tuned list but perhaps a start. Getting to three spells is pretty trivial in vintage and wanted to give it a try.

      Yes you are indeed correct about probe I should have looked thanks. I felt that this deck and survival were different but I could have been mistaken. Survival feels more like a grindy Toolbox deck that has answers to everything. When i was brewing the above list I was more worried about if it would just be a worse dredge.

      Hi,

      I saw the phoenix deck running around in legacy and wanted to see if I could port it to vintage with some obvious improvements. This deck is not 100% refined but has the ability to provide some absolutely busted draws 21 power on the first turn with no interaction etc.

      Please let me know your thoughts, the list is below.

      Sorcery (18)
      4x Buried Alive
      4x Cabal Therapy
      3x Faithless Looting
      1x Gitaxian Probe
      3x Thoughtseize
      1x Time Walk
      Land (16)
      2x Badlands

      3x Polluted Delta
      3x Scalding Tarn
      2x Underground Sea
      2x Volcanic Island
      Artifact (6)
      1x Black Lotus
      1x Mox Emerald
